I believe a 5 mm spacer is all you need. Could be lying though. I believe John Powell has ran this setup on customers cars talk to him

It's been done with Solstice wheels so Sky wheels should work too. I think it was just spacers as well but I cannot remember all of the details.

he swapped brembos and did a 5x110 conversion on an ls/lt with sky wheels and used a 19mm spacer, but recommended a minimum 15mm spacer for the wheels, but that was with brembos, if you have lsj brakes you might be able to use a smaller one.

And you need adapters. Spacers won't cut it.

Just polish the stockers, if you're just interested in the chrome look

Makes your car look like an 05-09 Hyundai Sonata, lol! The Sonata's rims looked almost identical to those but silver like TC wheels.
